Tips and suggestions for your online e-commerce business. We sell online in several marketplace venues. We are writing here to share some of our experiences and hope to help you not make the same mistakes as we have over the years.

Going back to school, starting a new job, moving up in the company, creating a new look in your office decor, showing off your collectible artistic style...Office and Desk Decor makes a statement about you!

We spend hours at our jobs and at our desks. Doesn't it make you feel good when you look up and see your personal style and have that relaxed calmness that you have when you are home. Did you realize that your decor makes you want to return there day after day?

All of us want to be unique. Especially in our work environment. We want to stand out from the crowd! What better way than displaying the sophisticated and refined side of your personality.

We are always scrambling for the perfect gift for someone in our office. Why not add to their desk decor or help them start showing their artistic sophistication too?

Another one of our most popular desk sets is the Happy Swirl hand carved soapstone Pencil Cup, Pencil or Pen Box and the decorative Ball.

The pencil boxes are our favorite because we stash away all kinds of small items in them! Coins for the drink machines, button sewing kit, hard candy, or, just about anything that is right at your fingertips!

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, which begins on January 23, 2012 and ends on February 9, 2013. The Dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 Animal signs. The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. In ancient China, the celestial Dragon represents an emperor and power. Today, it is the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying success and happiness. May the celestial Dragon bring great good luck to everyone.

I hope you are getting ready for the most successful year in 2012. Be sure to read up on your Chinese Zodiac and be prepared for the most fabulous year and positive experiences! However, during the rest of this year, 2011, you must start planning to be ready to take on all of your new adventures!

Start making a plan on where you are going to display the Dragon symbol. Love Sector? Protection Section? Career Sector? Home or Office? Determine your GUA number to find the appropriate Feng Shui sector...

Personally, since I am the sign of the Dragon and absolutely love the Chinese Dragon sculpture, I display them everywhere in my home and office. Dragon sculptures will become harder and harder to find the closer we get to February. Start planing now.
